Materials Management Route Determination

Hi expert,
I'm look for a solution to do planning of shipment time from external venodrs. In SD your are able to calulate the transport time for your Customer, this is also possible to calulate the shipment time on STO "intercompany purchase", here you get a shipment "tab" for each item on your purchase order, but can anybody tell me if it is possible to use the same functionally for external vendor on the purchase order, because it does not seem like your have the same functionally for doing route determination for external vendors.
Regards, Lars

Lars,
It is unclear to me why you would want to manage 'route' time for your vendors.
Generally, from a planning perspective, one wants to know 'from the time I become aware that I need to procure something from an external vendor, when can I plan to have the goods available in my RM warehouse, ready for issue to an order".  The portion of that time required for transportation (route) is usually irrelevant.
In order to manage the events needed to plan vendor procurement, there are three values that can be set:
a.  Purchase order processing time.  This is configuration.  The amount of time it normally takes for you to process a purchase requisition into a purchase order
b.  Planned delivery time - Master data; can be maintained either in the Material Master, or in the Purchase info record.  This is the planned duration from the time you place an order with a vendor to the time you can expect the parts to arrive at your facility.
c.  Goods receipt processing time - set at the Material master.  This is the planned duration from when the parts arrive at your facility to the time they can be made available as issuable stock in your RM warehouse.
Most planners find this adequate.

    Hi,
    It seems due to small differences between debit and credit side you are not able to post the document price differences). Check all the data to create an entry first and  Check the data format. Can you check  in OBYC is there a way  to  have a transaction DIF (Materials management small differences) post to different GL accounts based on valaution class (plant)?

  • Intercompany return delivery route determination

    Hi SAP gurus!
    How can we setup route determination for intercompany return delivery based on Purchase Order?
    We setup in SPRO route determination by delivery type RL by adding route determination check "A" which means "New route determination without check". But this doesn't work - route doesn't appear in delivery, when returns for Purchase Order is created.
    What you would suggest?

    Hi,
    Route Determination is based on Departure Zone, Shipping Conditions, Transport Zone & Transport Group.
    Departure Zone: Identify the shipping locations (Plants and shipping points).
    Usually Plant, Shipping point and Departure Zone are same.
    If multiple locations share the route determination then the Departure Zone is same for all the locations.
    Shipping Conditions: Identify the shipping conditions to be used for Domestic, Exports and Intercompany.
    Transport Zones: The destinations are defined based on postal code, geographic area and transit time.
    For specific customers, specific carriers and specific warehouses special Transport Zones are required.
    Transport Group: The global design is that all the materials are mastered as transport group 0001.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Thanks in advance

    Hello
    Could you please check the OSS note "SAP Note 1872228 - No Cost Component Split in Plan Price Calculation". I have also faced the same issues and it get solved by implementing this oss note.
    Before implementing this oss note, check whether KP26, KP06, Cost component structure are OK. Then execute the process KSS4 for Plan cost split and then KSPI.
    Then check the report S_ALR_87013644, whether the cost component split is working or not. If not then implement the oss note 1872228.
    Thanks

  • Volume based route determination

    Sir,
    can we have volume based ( dimension ) route determination.rather than weight.
    Plz can anybody tell me the difference between Weight & Volume in Material.M.R
    with an example.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    In standard system it is not possible.But if it is client's requirement , you need to take abapers help to write a program for route determination on the basis of volume.
    Volume
    Space that the material occupies per unit of volume. The volume refers
    to the unit specified in the "Volume unit" field.The volume and its unit always refer to the base unit of measure.
    Gross/Net Weight
    Gross/Net  weight expressed in the unit of weight specified by you in the
    Unit of weight field.
    The system can use the gross weight at a later stage, depending on what
    kind of capacity check you run, to check storage bin capacity for
    warehouse management purposes.

  • ATP and Route Determination at Storage Location Level

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working on a project currently and one of the requirements is to have ATP and Route Determination at Storage Location level. I know SAP standard for this is at plant level but was wondering if anyone has had this requirement before, and if so what course of action they took to solve this issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Route determination third party sales order

    We are using third party sales order.  The process flow is as follows.
    Sales order -> Purchase requisition-> Purchase order-> Vendor ships material directly to customer.
    Route is currently determinined based on the following:
    1. Departure zone (from shipping point)
    2. Shipping condition ( from ship to customer master)
    3. Transportation Group (rom material master)
    4. Destination zone (Transportation zone of the Customer in the order)
    Shipping point is in US, but the vendor who ships material to customer is in China. So, we want the Departure zone for the purpose of Route tdeterimination to be based on address in vendor master, and not shipping point.
    Is there anyway, we can do this?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Dear Srini,
    Welcome to SCN forum....
    I find route determination for third party sales not logical. Just think  in Third-Party Orders, theres is no Material-Movement  and no Deliveries from our Plant;
    In this case Route Determination will not be applicable. Customer has placed order to you and you have placed an order to your vendor, who directly deliver the goods to your customer. And you dont have to decide which route customer's transporter will take?
    So as per me you need not determine routes in case of third party sales order.
    Thanks,
    Raja

  • Route Determination in Inbound

    Dear All,
    How to configure the system to automatically determine the Route incase of Inbound Delivery Process?
    I know that the Route is getting detemined through the transportation zones & also the transportation group of the material.
    I have given the departure transportation in my vendor master record & receiving zone in my shipping point/receiving point address tab & also maintained a route for the shipping condition which I maintained in my vendor master & Trans.group in the material master.
    Inspite of doing all the above the route is not getting determined automatically.
    So please suggest a solution.
    Regards,

    Hi Amol,
    As you have suggested I have checked my material master trp group & its assignment to Shipping condition & route determination.
    Please note tht the goods receiving point is getting automatically determined as per the config but even though I have done the necessary assignment my route is not gettin determined automatically when I create a Inbound Delivery.
    To be more specific.
    I have given the Route for the TP zone given in my vendor master & TP zone given in the goods receiving/shipping point.
    I have maintained the Route for the combination of TP group given in my material master (sales view) & Shipping conditions given in my vendor master.
    Please help if you have any solutions.

    Hi,
    Some of the companies are having a practice of paying payables with the rounding off rules. This rounding of in India could be from Rs.0.01 to Rs.10.00. For examble, there is a payable amount of Rs.125125.25 this can be rounded off to Rs.125125.00 or Rs.125130.00 while making payment. The balance amount should hit the rounding off difference account.
    The same things is applicable for receivables also.
    Over/under payment GL can be configured by using T Code OBXL
    There is an another use, for details see the below link,

    Working with Route Schedules
    Use
    Using a route schedule, you can control periodic customer deliveries of a particular shipping point to different ship-to parties (for example, customers or stores) in a certain sequence on a certain defined route. The planning is based on calendar weeks. The period unit is a day. Also, route schedules have a goods issue time.
    The route schedule function supports the following processes:
    Periodic deliveries from a shipping point to stores or customers are planned in advance on the basis of calendar weeks and weekdays, also without reference to particular deliveries.
    You adapt the schedules in the specific cases to the planning. For example, you can plan a GI date for a Monday at 8 o’clock, without knowing the exact date or the delivery.
    On the basis of this planning, deliveries that are to leave the warehouse at the same time are combined into groups. In Shipping you can thus distribute the workload by processing these groups.
    Features
    You can display all deliveries for a particular route schedule on a particular day, for a particular shipping point, and so on. In this way, for example, you can choose picking lists on the basis of route schedules.
    You can create route schedules for the following documents:
    Sales orders
    Stock transfer orders
    Deliveries that are based on sales orders, store orders, stock allocations, stock transfer orders, and deliveries without reference.
    The route schedule is displayed in the header data of the delivery. For each delivery within the route, the system prints the expected date and the expected time of the delivery (on the basis of the local time at the original shipping point) on the delivery note; the goods issue date is used for the goods issue posting and the stock valuation.
    In Customizing, you define for each shipping point, delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type whether or not route schedules are to be used.
    You create the route schedules in the master data for shipping. Here you define the route schedule determination and the validity period for the route schedule and the itinerary.
    As soon as the legs have been defined, you can branch to another screen to determine the actual itinerary, as well as the time (days/hours/minutes) required to get from one unloading point to the next. In this screen there is a field beside each leg. Here you can enter the number of the itinerary for the individual legs of the route. If, for example, you enter legs A and B, but assign itinerary number 2 and 1 to these, B is the first unloading point on this route. If you press Enter, the legs are displayed in the correct sequence.
    At the same time it is possible to control the route schedule determination for each delivery type, stock transfer order, and order type. It is activated in the same manner as the repeated route determination. If the route schedule determination for a delivery is active, the system automatically attempts, during creation or change of a delivery, to determine a route schedule and records this in the delivery. Simultaneously, the scheduling is adjusted. All the deadlines, for example, the transportation planning time, the picking time, the loading time, the goods issue time, and the delivery time can change.
    Deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be selected for the same picking run and the same goods issue. The same procedure can be used for printing delivery notes and freight lists, for the grouping of deliveries into shipments, and for confirmation of picking orders.
    Deliveries that leave the warehouse at the same time, but are assigned to different routes and can therefore have different route schedules, can be combined together and processed through the creation of wave picks. The only condition is that all deliveries have the same goods issue time.
    Route Schedule Determination
    If exactly one route schedule is defined for a particular combination of requirements, then the system will use this.
    For each combination of requirements for the route schedule determination, you can define several route schedules.
    In the case of a delivery without a preceding document, the system determines the route schedule with the earliest delivery time at the ship-to party.
    In the case of deliveries based on preceding documents (for example, stock transfer orders), the system searches for the route schedule that is nearest to the planned date/time of the delivery. The system uses the following search algorithm:
    - If a route schedule exists for the specified time, this is assigned to the delivery.
    - If there is no route schedule for the time specified, the system searches for the previous route schedule up to the GI time.
    - If there is no route schedule from the GI time to the planned time, the system searches for the next route schedule in the future and assigns this to the delivery.
    Requirements for Route Schedules
    The route schedules are determined by the following conditions:
    · Shipping point
    Where are the goods coming from?
    Ship-to party and unloading point
    Where are the goods going to?
    Shipping condition
    How are the goods being shipped?
    Transportation group
    Which goods are shipped?
    ® For example, which type of goods?
    Calendar week / year
    When are the goods to be shipped?
    If you do not explicitly enter the week and the year, the entry applies for each calendar week. If you enter a week and a year, the route schedule only applies for this week.
    You can only use route schedules if you have maintained the working times and therefore at least one of the following times in minutes:
    · Transportation planning time
    · Pick/pack time
    · Loading time
    · Transit time
    A route schedule can leave the warehouse exactly once in a week. If a route schedule runs several times, either on several days or several times a day, it must be copied to another route schedule.
    Special schedules and public holiday weeks are possible.
    Processing a Route Schedule
    Implementation Options
    Wholesale trade customers and stores can receive goods at regular intervals. These delivery rhythms have an influence on the workload in the warehouse. To help delivery planning, the route schedule serves as a tool for planning regular, repetitive customer deliveries on a particular route. At the time of planning, potential deliveries that have not yet been created are grouped in the route schedule. When the deliveries are created, the system can automatically determine a route schedule and assign it to the delivery. All deliveries with the same route schedule and the same date can be processed together in the shipping point. All these deliveries leave the shipping point together at a particular time. They are distributed along the same geographical route.
    · Deliveries for route schedule MO10H leave the shipping on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Philadelphia.
    · Deliveries for route schedule MO10M leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of Boston.
    · Deliveries for route schedule MO10S leave the shipping point on Mondays at 10:00 in the direction of New York.
    You can print picking lists for all deliveries that belong to route schedules MO10H - MO10S together.
    Prerequisites
    If you want to define route schedules, you must perform the following tasks:
    - Activate the route determination
    - Activate the delivery scheduling
    - Activate the route schedule for your shipping point and make the following settings:
    Transaction
    Activity
    Delivery
    Route schedule determination for delivery type
    Sales order
    Route schedule determination for sales document type
    Stock transfer order
    Route schedule determination for delivery type
    Set delivering plant and order type
    Maintenance of the itinerary should be uniform for all the route schedules used. To ensure exact planning, maintain the itinerary for all the route schedules. If rough planning is sufficient in this case, you do not need to maintain the itinerary for a route schedule.
    If you do not define any goods accepted times in the customer master for the unloading points of the ship-to party, the system assumes that the goods acceptance is possible at any time. The system determines the delivery time from the departure time in the route schedule plus the required traveling time to the ship-to party, as set in the itinerary (specific move time). This delivery time must be within the goods acceptance time of the unloading point of the ship-to party. If not, the respective route schedule is not determined during delivery creation.
    For more information on route schedules, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Route Schedules.
    Process Flow
    Select the shipping point you are working for and enter the number of the route schedule.
    Enter the data that defines the route schedule more exactly:
    - Description of the route schedule
    - Route
    - Departure day (weekday)
    - Departure time
    You define the route schedule determination. When you create the delivery, the system can determine a route schedule on the basis of the following data:
    - Shipping point
    - Ship-to party
    - Unloading point (if available)
    - Shipping condition
    - Transportation group
    - (Optional) year/period
    You enter this data (with the exception of the shipping point already entered in step 1).
    You decide whether or not you wish to define the itinerary for this route schedule.
    (Optional) You enter the itinerary and, if required, also the travelling time.
    Creating a Route Schedule
    Choose Logistics ® Logistics Execution ® Master data ® Transportation ® Routes ® Route schedule ® Create.
    In the screen Create Route Schedule: Initial Screen, enter the shipping point and the number of the route schedule.
    If you wish to use data from an existing route schedule as a reference, enter the respective shipping point and the number of that route schedule. If you also wish to copy the itinerary, check the Copy itinerary box.
    Press ENTER .
    The Create Route Schedule screen appears (here the system displays the number you just entered for the route schedule and the shipping point).
    Enter the following data:
    Description of the route schedule
    The respective route
    Departure day (weekday)
    Departure time
    In the Determine route schedule section, enter the following data:
    Ship-to party
    Unloading point (if available)
    Shipping conditions
    Transportation group
    (Optional) Year/period
    If you wish to define for this route schedule the itinerary according to which the individual ship-to parties are to be delivered to, choose Extras ® Itinerary.
    The Create Itinerary screen appears.
    Enter the itinerary and, if necessary, the travelling time.
    When you determine the travelling time from one ship-to party to the next, you should include the wait time of the vehicle at the previous ship-to party.
    If the same route is planned for several route schedules, define for each of these route schedules the same itinerary that should correspond to the stages and legs of the route.
    Choose Goto ® Back.
    You return to the Create Route Schedule screen.
    In this screen, the Itinerary maintained field is now selected. If you wish to add other ship-to parties, you must also maintain the Itinerary for them.
    Check your data and save your entries.

  • How to Post Customer Return in Materials Management ?

    Dear Experts,
    I want to know the cycle of excisable customer return material.
    How the Goods receipt will be posted with excise duties and further processing in materials management.
    Also please mention the integration points with Sales and destribution.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    The returns order can be created with reference to an invoice to ensure traceability of the process. It may be worthwhile ensuring this is mandatory when creating the returns order type. It may also be worthwhile ensuring the returns order reason was entered on the sales document. Thus, it may be necessary to add this in an incompletion procedure. You may want to copy the pricing from the invoice back into the sales order.
    Note: - There is no need to indicate a negative value in the copying control rules, as the system sees the document type as a return. It automatically posts the entries in the finance document as opposite entries on the ledger. By using the same pricing values, you ensure a reversal of the externally created invoice.
    It is advisable to have a billing block assigned to the return order to prevent a credit for returns being created until an authorized person releases the billing block. Go to Sales, Sales documents, Sales document header, Define sales document type in the billing block field in the billing section.
    Once the returns delivery is created, the material is receipted back into our plant. The material should use a goods movement back into stock that inspects the stock, such as blocked stock, before placing it back into available stock to be consumed by the next sales order that places a demand for the material in the plant.
    Tip: - It is advisable to indicate a shipping condition that is specifically used for returns. Thus, all return deliveries or goods receipts can be done by a specific shipping point. This is useful when running the delivery due list. You can select only to process the returns deliveries, as well as offer better visibility of stock movements.
    The standard item category used by returns is REN.
    Process Flow: -
    1. VA01 - Create Return Order (Order Type - RE) w.r.t. original Billing Document
    2. VL01N - Create Delivery w.r.t. Return Order (Here do Picking and Post Goods Receipt i.e. PGR)
    3. VF01 - Create Credit Memo w.r.t. Delivery Document
    4. J1IEX - Capture Excise Invoice --> Without Purchase order and enter all details like; Material, Vendor, Quantity, Assessable Value, Excise Duties like; BED, ECS and SECess, etc... manually and Post.
